elephants never forget













This is plush elephant I created for my long distance bud, Katie. I started creating the pattern around Christmas time (with some advice from my mom) and even began to sew the pieces together at that time, but then the new semester started at my school and...well, I got very distracted. It's finally done and has arrived via USPS at it's new home in Oregon.

In case you're interested I used a combination of machine stitching and hand sewing, different colors of felt, 2 mismatched buttons for eyes, and polyfill to create my elephant. My next project is a creature for my cousin Kira. The idea is to make something to fit a mini Nebraska Corn Huskers helmet she loves and already owns. Wish me luck!
